VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM

Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler told BBC Radio Kent:

"Over the 90 minutes I thought we deserved to win the game. For the first half an hour we were terrific.

"The only criticism of the boys is that we let them off the hook a little bit in that spell. We perhaps should have got another goal.

"We kept plugging away and I always felt we had enough in the team to create chances. That just shows you the character we've got."

Bournemouth manager Lee Bradbury told BBC Radio Solent:

"For the first half we were nowhere near at the races. We came out and gave it a really good go in the second half, but it was too late. We've got to turn up for 90 minutes. Inconsistency has been our failure this season.

"We got a foothold in the game and I thought maybe we'd go on and win it, but they were resilient tonight and played well.

"They deserved to win the game after 90 minutes."
